WINDHOEK – This year’s Kia Tennis Series will come to an end this weekend when the stars of tomorrow take to the tennis courts of the Windhoek High School (WHS) for the last time for the season, under the auspices of the Pro Tennis Academy.
Current log leader Codie van Schalkwyk looks set to seal his overall victory of the series once and for all and in the unlikely event that Codie has a real bad day, his brother Connor could theoretically still catch up with his 11-year old sibling.
Meanwhile, there will be an interesting race for 2nd place. Connor is currently in the driving seat, but the likes of Waylon Wentzel, Veri Hinda and Delvin Losper have their sights firmly set on the silver medal. The season finale will definitely be closely contested and could by all means spring a surprise or two.
